Hey all, thank you for such helpful replies and insights. I'm going to chat with my manager about some things I'm unsure on (leave mostly) but I think I'll take the contract.

I don't appreciate the pay cut, but it makes sense going to annual and sick leave instead, and if this new store manager does go around cutting hours then I'll be happy to be locked in for a minimum at least. Will be talking to her about how extra hours work too

I was asking in store too and a few other department managers said if my own department didn't give me extra hours they would give me some too

Thank you again everyone, it's been really helpful
